Russia: Leaked former MI6 head emails show UK defies democratic ideals

The Russian Spokesperson says the plans leaked through the emails of the former head of the UK intelligence service do not really fit with the democratic ideals of the British parliamentary monarchy.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova considered on Saturday that the recently disclosed plans of the British elites to change power in the United Kingdom contradict the allegedly democratic ideals of the country's government system.

Zakharova's remarks came while commenting on the leaked emails of Richard Dearlove, the former head of the UK intelligence service MI6.

On May 15, independent outlet The Grayzone released a cache of Dearlove's emails, which allegedly disclose plans of the British elites advocating for Brexit to change power in the country over then-UK Prime Minister Theresa May's lack of initiative on the matter.

The elites reportedly intended to undermine May's Brexit deal, which they viewed as weak, by infiltrating the government, spying on campaign groups, and replacing May with Boris Johnson.

"This does not really fit with the touted democratic ideals of the British parliamentary monarchy, to be honest,” Zakharova considered.

According to The Grayzone, the entire operation had been sponsored by Tim and Mary Clode — an aristocratic couple who had settled in a "tax haven" on Jersey Island. The husband and wife have avoided being mentioned on social networks in recent years, the report highlighted.

"Therefore, they fit perfectly the role of 'money bags' and had been allocating money monthly to prepare 'products' [compromising evidence and defamation articles]," the Russian Spokesperson said.

Zakharova criticized Dearlove for accusing Russia of the leak, adding that the UK authorities and elites apparently believe that the British can learn the truth about their own government and democracy only from the Russians.
